After travelling 6000 mi i prefer to venture out and explore the area so i hope to see more comments on what is out there to do - boating/snorkeling, island exploration, restaurants/markets etc...
I hope this is not just another hainan or nusa dua kind of place...
You can take a boat trip.
You can hire a scooter/motorbike and go explore the island (find other beaches).
You can go into the main town and try restaurants.
You can bike round the island and try restaurants on the beach.
I guess you can snorkel as well although I didn't try that and I don't know if there's any high quality reefs to explore.
The point is that there's nothing to keep you locked in the resort if you're the adventurous type but, yes, it is a relatively small island so you can't expect to do absolutely everything.
